(First embodiment)
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of a game processing program, a game processing method, and a game processing device will be described. In the present embodiment, a game using the controller as an input operation is provided to the player by executing the game processing program in the game processing device with all players wearing head-mounted displays (HMDs) on their heads. The In the present embodiment, a game in which two players progress simultaneously will be described.

[System Overview]
With reference to FIG. 1, the structure of the system which HMD10, the controller 20, and the game processing apparatus 30 have is demonstrated. First, the configuration of the HMD 10 connected to the game processing device 30 will be described. The HMD 10 includes an HMD control unit 11, a sensor 12, and an input / output interface unit (I / F unit) 13. The HMD control unit 11 outputs various information to the game processing device 30 and inputs various information from the game processing device 30 via the input / output I / F unit 13. The sensor 12 is a sensor that detects the movement of the player's head including the position and orientation of the player's head. The sensor 12 includes, for example, at least one of a gyro sensor, an acceleration sensor, a geomagnetic sensor, and the like.

  The HMD 10 also includes a display 14 that displays an image and a speaker 15 that outputs sound. For example, the display 14 displays an image visually recognized by the left eye and an image visually recognized by the right eye with parallax. Thereby, the player can visually recognize a stereoscopic image with a sense of depth. The HMD control unit 11 displays an image corresponding to the image signal received from the game processing device 30 on the display 14 via the input / output I / F unit 13. The speaker 15 is a headphone or the like, and outputs sound effects, sounds explaining the progress of the game, and the like. Note that the sensor 12 and the speaker 15 may be provided separately from the HMD 10.

  The controller 20 detects the movement of the controller 20 including the position and orientation of the controller 20. The controller 20 includes, for example, at least one of a gyro sensor, an acceleration sensor, a geomagnetic sensor, and the like. The controller 20 also includes a determination button. The controller 20 outputs various information including the detection result of the movement of the controller 20 and the presence / absence of a determination button operation (for example, a tap operation) to the game processing device 30. The controller 20 may be a controller that includes an operation unit other than the enter button, or may be a controller that accepts an input operation on a touch panel display.

[Configuration of Game Processing Device 30]
Next, the configuration of the game processing device 30 will be described. The game processing device 30 includes a control unit 31, a storage unit 32, and an input / output unit 33. The control unit 31 includes hardware elements such as a CPU, RAM, and ROM. The control unit 31 includes an operation status specifying unit 34, a game management unit 35, and a display control unit 36. In the present embodiment, the control unit 31 functions as an operation situation specifying unit 34, a game management unit 35, and a display control unit 36 by causing a hardware element to execute a game processing program.

  The storage unit 32 stores game field information 37, avatar information 38, moving object information 39, item information 40, operation status information 41, and moving object capture history 42.

  The game field information 37 is data for drawing the background of the game field shared by the two players. The game field information 37 includes information on the initial position of the avatar that each player places as a game medium in the game field, and information on the type of moving object that is placed in the game field.

  The avatar information 38 is data for drawing an avatar arranged in the game field, and is individually associated with each player when the game is executed.

  The moving object information 39 is information regarding a moving object displayed in the game field. The moving object information 39 includes moving range setting information for setting the moving range of the moving object in the game field, and attributes of the moving object (for example, a moving object parameter for the difficulty level indicating the difficulty of capturing). . Note that capturing the moving object means giving the moving object to the player, and is realized by recording the identification information of the player and the identification information of the moving object in association with each other.

  The item information 40 is information related to an item for capturing a moving object through the operation of the controller 20. The item information 40 includes item attributes (for example, parameters of items that contribute to capturing a moving object).

  The operation status information 41 is information indicating the operation status of the controller 20. The operation status information 41 includes information indicating a movement status including an operation speed including at least one of the speed, acceleration, and angular velocity of the controller 20, information indicating the direction in which the controller 20 is tilted, and a determination button of the controller 20 Contains information indicating the presence or absence of an operation. In the present embodiment, information indicating the operation status of the controller 20 is recorded for each controller 20 operated by each player.

  The moving object capturing history 42 includes information indicating the type of moving object that has been successfully captured through the operation of the controller 20. The moving object capture history 42 is managed as individual history data for each player.

  The operation status specifying unit 34 of the control unit 31 inputs an operation signal from the controller 20 operated by each player via the input / output unit 33. The operation status specifying unit 34 specifies the operation status of the controller 20 using the input operation signal, and records the specified operation status in the storage unit 32.

  The game management unit 35 manages game progress by the player. Specifically, first, when a game field is selected by the player, an avatar is placed in the selected game field. In addition, the game management unit 35 uses the moving range setting information corresponding to the type of moving object included in the game field information 37 to determine the moving range of the moving object in the game field. In addition, the game management unit 35 performs a capture operation on a moving object that moves within the moving range in the game field, based on the operation status of the controller 20 specified by the operation status specifying unit 34. Then, when the capture operation for the moving object is successful, the game management unit 35 adds the type of the captured moving object and the like to the moving object capture history 42. On the other hand, the game management part 35 complete | finishes a game, when capture operation with respect to a moving object fails. Further, the game management unit 35 extracts sound information such as sound effects and sound explaining the progress of the game from a sound information storage unit (not shown), and transmits the sound information to the speaker 15 via the input / output unit 33.

  The display control unit 36 identifies a visual field range in a virtual space centered on the gaze position of each player, and extracts game field information 37 corresponding to the visual field range. Then, the display control unit 36 transmits the extracted game field information 37 to the HMD 10 as an image signal. Further, the display control unit 36 displays the background of the game field selected by the player and the image of the moving object that moves in the selected game field. Further, the display control unit 36 displays an avatar corresponding to the player on the game field for each player.

[Operation control]
Next, with reference to FIG. 2, the function for specifying the operation status of the controller 20 by the game processing device 30 will be described. The operation status specifying unit 34 receives the detection signal of the sensor 12 from the HMD 10 and specifies the position and orientation of the head of the player 101 according to the detection signal. Specifically, the operation situation specifying unit 34 determines the position and orientation of the head, the X axis along the horizontal direction and the pitch θp indicating the rotation direction around the X axis, the Y axis along the vertical direction, and the Y axis along the vertical direction. The yaw θy indicating the rotation direction around the axis, the Z axis along the depth direction, and the roll θr indicating the rotation direction around the Z axis in the three-axis direction and the angle around each axis are calculated. Then, the operation status specifying unit 34 specifies the gaze position of the player in the virtual space 100 based on the specified position and orientation of the head.

  Further, the operation status specifying unit 34 inputs various information such as an operation signal of the controller 20 and specifies the position and orientation of the controller 20. Specifically, the operation status specifying unit 34 calculates the position and orientation of the controller 20 as the position in the three-axis direction and the angle around each axis, in the same manner as the head of the player 101. Then, the operation situation specifying unit 34 specifies the operation situation of the controller 20 as viewed from the viewpoint of the player 101 by comparing the position and orientation of the specified controller 20 with the position and orientation of the head of the player 101. .

  The display control unit 36 displays an image of the item 103 used for operating the moving object in the game field 102 at a position corresponding to the controller 20 in the virtual space 100. In the present embodiment, an image of a fishing rod used for a moving object capturing operation is displayed at the player's 101 hand.

  Since the virtual space is shared by the two players 101, when the operation by one player 101 is included in the visual field range of the other player 101, the operation by the former player 101 is displayed on the display 14 of the latter player 101. Is displayed. Further, when a change occurs in the moving object that moves in the game field through an operation by one player 101, the change is reflected in the other player 101.

[Game processing]
Next, with reference to FIGS. 3 to 14, a processing procedure for each process for providing a game to the player will be described. In the present embodiment, each process will be described as an example of a game that performs a capture operation of a moving object.

  When the game is started, the control unit 31 of the game processing device 30 specifies the position and orientation of the head according to the detection signal input from the sensor 12 of the HMD 10. Further, the control unit 31 specifies the gaze position of the player based on the position and orientation of the head. In addition, the control unit 31 extracts game field information 37 of the visual field range centered on the gaze position from the storage unit 32, and outputs the game field and moving object image signals included in the extracted game field information 37 to the HMD control unit 11. Send to. Further, the control unit 31 specifies the position and orientation of the controller 20 according to the operation signal input from the controller 20. Further, the control unit 31 reads the item information 40 from the storage unit 32 and transmits an image signal of an item included in the read item information 40 to the HMD control unit 11. The HMD control unit 11 outputs an image corresponding to the received image signal to the display 14. Specifically, the HMD control unit 11 outputs to the display 14 an image in which the game field and the moving object are displayed at predetermined positions in the virtual space. Further, the HMD control unit 11 outputs an image in which the item is displayed at a position corresponding to the controller 20 to the display 14. As described above, the game processing device 30 advances the game while displaying the virtual space image corresponding to the position and orientation of the player's head and the position and orientation of the controller 20 on the display 14.

(Game progress process)
Next, the game progress process will be described with reference to FIG.
First, the control unit 31 of the game processing device 30 executes a game environment setting (step S10). When the game is started, the control unit 31 reads the game field information 37 from the storage unit 32. Specific processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, when the game environment setting is completed, the control unit 31 shifts to a standby mode (step S20). And the control part 31 transfers to battle mode, when a predetermined start event is detected in standby mode (step S30). Specific processing will be described later with reference to FIGS.

  Thereafter, the control unit 31 determines whether or not a game end operation has been performed by the player after the end of the battle mode (step 40).

  When the game end operation is not performed (in the case of “NO” in step S40), the control unit 31 returns to step S10. On the other hand, when the game end operation is performed (in the case of “YES” in step S40), the control unit 31 ends the game.

(Game preferences)
Next, the game environment setting will be described with reference to FIG. First, the control unit 31 of the game processing device 30 sets a game field selected by the player from a plurality of game fields prepared in advance based on the operation signal input from the controller 20 (step S11).

  Next, the control unit 31 sets a moving object for the selected game field (step S12). Specifically, the game management unit 35 of the control unit 31 specifies the type of the moving object corresponding to the selected game field based on the game field information 37. In addition, the game management unit 35 extracts movement range setting information for setting the movement range of the identified moving object from the moving object information 39. And the control part 31 determines the moving range of the moving object in a game field based on the extracted moving range setting information.

  Next, the control unit 31 receives player information (step S13). Specifically, the control unit 31 specifies the player ID for each player and the number of players based on the operation signal input from the controller 20.

  Next, the control unit 31 performs avatar setting (step 14). Specifically, the game management unit 35 of the control unit 31 reads the avatar information 38 from the storage unit 32 and sets an avatar for each player. In addition, the game management unit 35 extracts information on the initial position of the avatar corresponding to the selected game field from the game field information 37. In this case, as the initial position of the avatar, a plurality of positions are set in advance in the game field, and each position is determined based on the moving range of the moving object. Specifically, the relative positions are determined such that the distance between the initial position of the avatar and the moving range of the moving object is less than a predetermined distance. Therefore, it is determined that the moving range of at least one moving object among the plurality of moving objects moving in the game field 102 is included in the vicinity of the initial positions of all avatars. And the control part 31 selects the initial position of the avatar for every player at random from the initial position of the several avatar corresponding to a game field. Or the control part 31 selects the position designated by the player from the initial positions of a plurality of avatars.

  With reference to FIG. 5, the virtual space set through the environment setting of the game will be described. Note that the virtual space shown in FIG. 5 is schematically shown regardless of the visual field range of the player.

  As shown in FIG. 5, a movable range 105 of the moving object 104 is set in the game field 102 selected by the two players. In this embodiment, the fishing ground corresponds to the game field 102, the fish corresponds to the moving object 104, and the pond corresponds to the movable range 105 of the moving object 104. Based on the moving object information 39, the movement target position 106 of the moving object 104 is set in the movable range 105 of the moving object 104. The number, arrangement, and movement probability of the movement target position 106 are different for each type of the moving object 104. A range surrounded by these movement target positions 106 corresponds to the movement range 107 of the moving object 104. When the fish that is the moving object 104 exists in the pond (or river, sea, etc.) that is the movable range 105, the fish is displayed as a fish shadow.

  In the game field 102, an avatar 108 set for each player is displayed. In the vicinity of the initial position of each avatar 108, the moving range 107 of at least one moving object 104 among the plurality of moving objects 104 moving in the game field 102 is included. In the present embodiment, two moving objects 104 are traveling around the game field 102, and the moving range 107 of one moving object 104 is arranged close to each of the avatars 108 of the two players. For this reason, both players can immediately start the capture operation of the moving object 104 without changing the position of the avatar 108 from the start of the game, and the game progresses smoothly.

(Standby mode)
Next, the standby mode will be described with reference to FIG.
First, the control unit 31 of the game processing device 30 detects an operation in the first direction (step S21). Specifically, the operation status specifying unit 34 of the control unit 31 detects the swing-down operation of the controller 20 as an operation in the first direction based on the operation signal input from the controller 20.

  Next, the control part 31 performs a 1st operation effect based on the operation condition of operation to the 1st direction of the controller 20 (step S22). Specifically, the display control unit 36 of the control unit 31 arranges items related to the capture operation of the moving object in the game field as the first operation effect. The operation status of the operation in the first direction includes the operation speed and direction of the operation of the controller 20 in the first direction. And control part 31 makes it possible to start capture operation of a moving object using an item, when arranging an item in a game field.

  Next, the control unit 31 determines whether or not a preparation condition for the operation of the controller 20 in the second direction is satisfied (step S23). In the present embodiment, an operation of swinging up the controller 20 is used as the operation in the second direction. Specifically, the operation status specifying unit 34 of the control unit 31 associates the moving object and the item with each other when the relative position between the moving object and the item in the game field is close to a predetermined distance, It is determined that the preparation condition for the operation in the second direction is satisfied.

  When it is determined that the preparation condition for the operation in the second direction is satisfied (in the case of “YES” in step S23), the control unit 31 determines whether the operation of the controller 20 in the second direction has been performed within the reference time. It is determined whether or not (step S24). Specifically, the operation status specifying unit 34 of the control unit 31 waits for the operation in the second direction while measuring the time after the preparation condition for the operation in the second direction is satisfied.

  And when it determines with operation to the 2nd direction of the controller 20 having been performed within reference time (in the case of "YES" in step S24), the control part 31 performs a 2nd operation effect (step S25). ). Specifically, the display control unit 36 of the control unit 31 outputs to the HMD 10 an operation effect that displays a message indicating the transition to the battle mode in the vicinity of the moving object.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the preparation condition for the operation in the second direction of the controller 20 is not satisfied (in the case of “NO” in step S23), the control unit 31 determines the presence or absence of the cancel operation (step S26). ). Specifically, the operation status specifying unit 34 of the control unit 31 swings up the controller 20 that is an operation in a direction opposite to the first direction as a cancel operation based on the operation signal input from the controller 20. Wait for operation.

  When a cancel operation is detected (“YES” in step S26), the control unit 31 cancels the first operation effect (step S27) and returns to step S21.

  On the other hand, when the cancel operation is not detected (“NO” in step S26), the control unit 31 returns to step S23 while continuing the first operation effect.

  Also, when it is determined that the operation of the controller 20 in the second direction has not been performed within the reference time (in the case of “NO” in step S24), the control unit 31 cancels the first operation effect. (Step S27), the process returns to step S21.

With reference to FIGS. 7A to 7D, an image displayed on the display 14 of the HMD 10 during the execution of the standby mode will be described.
As shown in FIG. 7A, the control unit 31 of the game processing device 30 displays a virtual space image with the gaze position of the player at the center of the visual field range on the display 14. In this case, the display control unit 36 of the control unit 31 displays, as virtual space images, the game field 102, the moving object 104 (fish) that moves in the game field 102, and the item 103 (fishing rod) associated with the operation of the controller 20. Is displayed.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the control unit 31 detects an operation of the controller 20 in the first direction, the movement of the item 109 (the lure or bait) set as the setting area in the game field 102 is performed. A first operation effect arranged in the movable range 105 of the object 104 is executed. In the present embodiment, as a first operation effect, a moving image in which a lure is thrown into the water surface of a pond from the tip of a fishing rod is output.

  In this case, the control unit 31 determines the position of the item 109 in the game field 102 based on the movement state (operation speed, direction) of the controller 20 in the operation in the first direction. Specifically, the game management unit 35 of the control unit 31 sets the item at a position farther away from the player's viewpoint as the speed or acceleration of the controller 20 in the operation in the first direction (downward operation) increases. 109 is arranged. In this case, the item 109 is arranged on an extension line in the operation direction (downward direction) in the first direction as seen from the viewpoint of the player.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7C, the control unit 31 adjusts the compatibility between the moving object 104 and the item 109 when the relative position between the moving object 104 and the item 109 (such as lure) in the game field 102 is close. Based on this, the presence or absence of association is determined. Specifically, the game management unit 35 of the control unit 31 determines the battle start (association between the moving object 104 and the item 109) based on the compatibility between the fish and the lure or the like. Note that whether or not the “hook” by which the fish bites the lure has been successful is affected by the compatibility between the food set in the lure and the type of fish.

  Further, the control unit 31 notifies the player when the moving object 104 and the item 109 are associated with each other. In this case, as an example of the notification method, for example, there is a method of vibrating the controller 20 using a vibration function built in the controller 20. However, the notification method is not limited to this, and a method of displaying a message in the vicinity of the moving object 104 in the virtual space image may be employed.

  Further, as illustrated in FIG. 7D, when detecting the operation of the controller 20 in the second direction, the control unit 31 displays a message 110 indicating the shift to the battle mode in the vicinity of the moving object 104.

(Battle mode)
Next, the battle mode will be described with reference to FIGS. In the present embodiment, the battle mode is a capture operation of the moving object 104 using the item 103 (fishing rod), and corresponds to a game operation using the item 103.

  First, as shown in FIG. 8, in the main process in the battle mode, the control unit 31 of the game processing apparatus 30 displays a battle circle (step S31). Specifically, the game management unit 35 of the control unit 31 displays a battle circle (first region) within the movable range of the moving object set in the game field. This battle circle (first region) is a range where the tap operation (first operation) of the determination button of the controller 20 is effective. Further, the size of the battle circle is an index indicating the physical strength of the moving object or the probability of encountering an opportunity to capture the moving object.

  Next, the control part 31 expands a battle circle with progress of time (step S32). Specifically, the game management part 35 of the control part 31 expands the diameter from the center of a battle circle according to time. In addition, since a battle circle is not limited to circular shape, what is necessary is just to expand in the form which includes the previous battle circle.

  Next, the control part 31 determines whether the magnitude | size of the battle circle became less than the 1st threshold value (step S33). Specifically, as will be described later, when the battle mode interruption process is executed even during expansion of the battle circle, the game management unit 35 of the control unit 31 reduces the battle circle. Then, the game management unit 35 compares the diameter of the battle circle with the first threshold (lower threshold).

  And when it determines with the magnitude | size of a battle circle being more than a 1st threshold value (in the case of "NO" in step S33), the control part 31 determines whether the magnitude | size of a battle circle is more than a 2nd threshold value. Determination is made (step S34). Specifically, the game management unit 35 of the control unit 31 compares the diameter of the battle circle with a second threshold value (upper threshold value). Note that the second threshold is set as a value larger than the first threshold.

  And when it determines with the magnitude | size of a battle circle being less than a 2nd threshold value (in the case of "NO" in step S34), the control part 31 returns to step S31. Specifically, the game management part 35 of the control part 31 repeats the process of step S31-step S34, when the magnitude | size of a battle circle exists between a 1st threshold value and a 2nd threshold value.

  On the other hand, when it determines with the magnitude | size of a battle circle being less than a 1st threshold value (in the case of "YES" in step S33), the control part 31 determines whether 2nd operation of the controller 20 was performed within reference time. Is determined (step S35). Specifically, the operation status specifying unit 34 of the control unit 31 waits for detection of an operation (second operation) for raising the controller 20 and capturing a moving object.

  When the second operation is detected within the reference time (in the case of “YES” in step S35), the control unit 31 performs an effect of capturing the moving object successfully (step S36). Specifically, the display control unit 36 of the control unit 31 outputs to the HMD 10 an effect of catching fish from the water surface as an effect of successful capture.

  On the other hand, when it determines with the magnitude | size of a battle circle being more than a 2nd threshold value (in the case of "YES" in step S34), the control part 31 performs the capture failure capture | acquisition of a moving object (step S37). Specifically, the display control unit 36 of the control unit 31 outputs, to the HMD 10, an effect that fish is removed from the fishing rod as an effect of capture failure.

  Further, even when the second operation of the controller 20 is not detected within the reference time (in the case of “NO” in step S35), the control unit 31 produces a moving object capture failure (step S37). .

As shown in FIG. 9, when the control unit 31 of the game processing device 30 detects the first operation of the controller 20 during the execution of the processes in steps S31 to S34 in the main process in the battle mode (step S31A). ), And execute the battle mode interrupt process.
In the interrupt process in the battle mode, the control unit 31 changes the size of the battle circle based on the effectiveness of the first operation of the controller 20.

  First, the control unit 31 determines whether or not the moving object is located inside the battle circle when the first operation is detected (step S32A). Specifically, the operation status specifying unit 34 of the control unit 31 specifies the current position of the moving object, and compares the current position with the arrangement of the battle circle.

  If the moving object is located inside the battle circle (“YES” in step S32A), the control unit 31 determines that the first operation of the controller 20 is valid.

  In this case, the control unit 31 determines the reduction amount of the battle circle (step S33A). Specifically, the game management unit 35 of the control unit 31 determines the reduction amount of the battle circle at a predetermined ratio for each battle circle area.

  Thereafter, the display control unit 36 of the control unit 31 reduces the battle circle on the display 14 in accordance with the determined reduction amount (step S34A), and ends the battle mode interruption process.

  On the other hand, when the moving object is located outside the battle circle (in the case of “NO” in step S32A), the control unit 31 determines that the first operation is invalid.

  In this case, the control unit 31 expands the battle circle in accordance with the first operation (step S35A), and ends the battle mode interrupt process.

  An image displayed on the display 14 of the HMD 10 during execution of the battle mode will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 (a) to (d) and FIGS. 11 (a) to 11 (c).

  As shown in FIG. 10A, the control unit 31 of the game processing device 30 displays a virtual space image with the gaze position of the player at the center of the visual field range on the display 14 in the same manner as in the execution of the standby mode. . In this case, the control part 31 displays the battle circle 111 centering on the position of the moving object 104 (fish) in the game field 102 as a virtual space image. Further, the control unit 31 displays a center circle 112 (second region) indicating a lower limit threshold value of the size of the battle circle 111 inside the battle circle 111. Further, the control unit 31 displays an outer circle 113 indicating the upper limit threshold value of the size of the battle circle 111 on the outside of the battle circle 111. The center circle 112 and the outer circle 113 are concentric with the battle circle 111.

  The control part 31 expands the battle circle 111 with progress of time. In this case, the control unit 31 changes the expansion amount of the battle circle 111 according to the passage of time based on the type of the moving object 104 and the type of the item 103 (fishing rod) associated with the operation of the controller 20.

  For example, for the moving object 104 with a high degree of rarity, the enlargement amount of the battle circle 111 corresponding to the passage of time is set large. This makes it possible to increase the difficulty of capturing the moving object 104.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10B, when the control unit 31 detects the first operation (tap operation) of the controller 20 in a state where the moving object 104 is located inside the battle circle 111, the control unit 31 displays the battle circle 111. to shrink. In this case, the control unit 31 changes the reduction amount of the battle circle 111 according to the effectiveness of the first operation of the controller 20 based on the area of the battle circle 111 where the moving object 104 is located.

  Specifically, the control unit 31 divides the battle circle 111 into a plurality of areas concentrically in the radial direction, and sets the reduction amount of the battle circle 111 for each area. In this case, the control unit 31 sets the reduction amount of the battle circle 111 to be larger as it is closer to the center of the battle circle 111.

  Further, the control unit 31 changes the reduction amount of the battle circle according to the effectiveness of the first operation of the controller 20 based on the type of the moving object 104 and the type of the item 103.

  For example, for a moving object 104 with a high degree of rareness, the reduction amount of the battle circle 111 when the first operation of the controller 20 becomes valid is set small. This makes it possible to increase the difficulty of capturing the moving object 104.

  Further, as illustrated in FIG. 10C, when the battle circle 111 is reduced to the center circle 112, the control unit 31 notifies that the second operation of the controller 20 is effective. For example, the control unit 31 displays the message 114 in the vicinity of the moving object 104. As another notification method, for example, a method using a vibration function built in the controller 20 may be employed.

  Then, when detecting the second operation of the controller 20, the control unit 31 determines the effectiveness of the operation. In this case, the effectiveness of the second operation of the controller 20 is affected by parameters that contribute to the difficulty of capturing the moving object for the item 103 (fishing rod) related to the second operation of the controller 20. And according to the height of the parameter of the item 103, the ratio which performs the validity determination of the 2nd operation of the controller 20 is made high. Thereby, for example, when the item 103 having a high degree of rareness is used, the difficulty of capturing the moving object 104 can be lowered.

  Then, as illustrated in FIG. 10D, when the control unit 31 determines that the second operation of the controller 20 is valid, the control unit 31 performs an effect of capturing the moving object 104 successfully. Specifically, the display control unit 36 of the control unit 31 outputs to the HMD 10 an effect of catching fish from the water surface as an effect of successful capture.

  Further, as illustrated in FIGS. 11A and 11B, the control unit 31 detects the first operation (tap operation) of the controller 20 in a state where the moving object 104 is positioned outside the battle circle 111. Then, the battle circle 111 is expanded. In this case, the control unit 31 performs a battle according to the effectiveness of the first operation of the controller 20 based on the type of the moving object 104 and the type of the item 103 (fishing rod) associated with the first operation of the controller 20. The enlargement amount of the circle 111 is changed.

  For example, for the moving object 104 with a high rare degree, the enlargement amount of the battle circle 111 when the first operation of the controller 20 is invalid is set large. This makes it possible to increase the difficulty of capturing the moving object 104.

  And as shown in FIG.11 (c), when the battle circle 111 expands to the external circle 113, the control part 31 produces the capture failure of the moving object 104. FIG. Specifically, the display control unit 36 of the control unit 31 outputs, to the HMD 10, an effect that fish is removed from the fishing rod as an effect of capture failure. Note that the control unit 31 also produces a capture failure of the moving object 104 when it is determined that the second operation of the controller 20 is invalid.

(Moving object setting)
Next, moving object setting will be described with reference to FIGS. Note that the moving object setting main process shown in FIG. 12 is executed in both the standby mode and the battle mode. On the other hand, the moving object setting interruption process shown in FIG. 13 is executed only in the battle mode, and the process is accepted during execution of steps S31 to S34 in the main process of the battle mode. That is, in the present embodiment, in the state where the second operation of the controller 20 is accepted as the operation state for the moving object, the moving object setting interrupt process is not accepted. In this regard, the control unit 31 of the game processing device 30 determines whether or not the moving direction of the moving object can be changed based on the operation state of the moving object.

(Main process of moving object setting)
First, as shown in FIG. 12, in the moving object setting main process, the control unit 31 determines the movement change timing (step S51). Specifically, the game management unit 35 of the control unit 31 sets the movement change timing at predetermined time intervals. And the game management part 35 waits for a movement change timing.

  Next, the control part 31 draws a movement target position (step S52). Specifically, the game management unit 35 of the control unit 31 uses the moving object information 39 to specify a plurality of moving target position candidates corresponding to the type of the moving object 104 in the game field. Furthermore, the game management unit 35 uses the moving object information 39 to specify the movement probability of the moving object 104 for each candidate movement target position. And the game management part 35 draws the movement target position used as the movement destination of a moving object based on the movement probability for every candidate of a movement target position.

  Then, the game management unit 35 starts moving the moving object 104 on a straight line connecting the newly determined movement target position from the current position. In this case, the display control unit 36 of the control unit 31 outputs a display for moving the moving object 104 to the HMD 10 aiming at the movement target position. Thereafter, the control unit 31 returns to step S51 and waits for the next movement change timing.

(Interrupt processing for moving object settings)
As shown in FIG. 13, when the control unit 31 of the game processing device 30 detects an intervention operation of the controller 20 during the execution of the main process of moving object setting (step S51A), the control unit 31 executes an interrupt process of moving object setting. . That is, the intervention operation is executed on the assumption that the moving object and the item are associated ("hook" is established). Further, the intervention operation is executed by the player changing the position and orientation of the controller 20.

  In the moving object setting interrupt process, the control unit 31 changes the moving direction of the moving object based on the direction of the intervention operation of the controller 20.

  First, the control unit 31 specifies an intervention condition (step S52A). Specifically, the game management unit 35 of the control unit 31 specifies the intervention condition using the type of the moving object in the moving object information 39 and the type of the item in the item information 40.

  Next, the control unit 31 determines whether or not the intervention operation of the controller 20 is established (step S53A). Specifically, the game management unit 35 of the control unit 31 decreases the probability of determining that the intervention operation of the controller 20 is established as the difficulty of capturing the moving object increases. Further, the game management unit 35 increases the probability of determining that the intervention operation of the controller 20 is established as the parameter of the item contributing to the capture of the moving object is higher. In addition to this, the game management unit 35 may determine that the intervention operation is established when the acceleration or speed of the controller 20 is equal to or higher than a predetermined value.

  When it is determined that the intervention operation of the controller 20 is established (“YES” in step S53A), the control unit 31 changes the moving direction of the moving object (step S54A). Specifically, the game management unit 35 of the control unit 31 matches the direction of the intervention operation of the controller 20 with the moving direction of the moving object after the change.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the intervention operation of the controller 20 is not established (“NO” in step S53A), the control unit 31 ends the moving object setting interrupt process without changing the moving direction of the moving object. .

With reference to FIGS. 14A to 14C, an image displayed on the display 14 of the HMD 10 during execution of moving object setting will be described.
As shown in FIG. 14A, the control unit 31 of the game processing device 30 is directed to a predetermined movement target position 106 among a plurality of movement target positions 106 corresponding to the type of the moving object 104 in the game field 102. To move the moving object 104. Then, the control unit 31 draws the next movement target position at predetermined time intervals based on the movement probability for each movement target position 106. That is, the control unit 31 periodically changes the moving direction of the moving object 104 within the moving range 107 surrounded by the plurality of moving target positions 106.

  And as shown in FIG.14 (b), the control part 31 will determine the presence or absence of establishment of the intervention operation of the controller 20, if the intervention operation of the controller 20 is detected. Specifically, the game management unit 35 of the control unit 31 determines whether or not the intervention operation of the controller 20 is established based on the type of the moving object and the type of the item 103 (fishing rod) associated with the intervention operation of the controller 20. judge.

  Then, as illustrated in FIG. 14C, when it is determined that the intervention operation of the controller 20 is established, the control unit 31 changes the moving direction of the moving object 104 based on the direction of the intervention operation of the controller 20. In this case, the direction of the moving object 104 after the change is affected by the type of the moving object 104 and the type of the item 103 (fishing rod) associated with the intervention operation of the controller 20.

  For example, for the moving object 104 with a high rare degree, the degree of coincidence between the direction of the intervention operation of the controller 20 and the moving direction of the moving object 104 after the change is set low. This makes it possible to increase the difficulty of capturing the moving object 104.

  The control unit 31 can also move the moving object 104 to a position outside the moving range 107 set based on the moving range setting information through the intervention operation of the controller 20.

  Further, the control unit 31 does not accept the intervention operation of the controller 20 immediately after the change of the moving direction of the moving object 104 through the intervention operation of the controller 20 is executed. Then, the control unit 31 resumes the change of the moving direction of the moving object 104 through the intervention operation of the controller 20 on the condition that a predetermined time has elapsed since the moving direction of the moving object 104 was changed.

As described above, according to the first embodiment, the effects listed below can be obtained.
(1) In the first embodiment, the moving range 107 of the moving object 104 in the game field 102 is determined using the moving range setting information. Then, the avatar 108 is arranged with respect to the game field 102 so that the relative position with the determined movement range 107 satisfies a predetermined condition. Thereby, since the movement of the moving object 104 can be complicated, for example, when the moving object 104 is a fish, the movement can be made closer to a real fish. In addition, the avatar 108 and the moving range of the moving object 104 in the game field 102 are appropriately arranged, so that the game can proceed smoothly.

  (2) In the first embodiment, at the movement change timing, the next movement target position 106 is drawn out of the plurality of movement target positions 106 set in the storage unit 32. Thereby, the movement pattern of the moving object 104 in the game field 102 can be rich in diversity.

  (3) In the first embodiment, the movement change timing is set at a predetermined time interval. As a result, the moving direction of the moving object 104 is periodically changed, and an operation corresponding to the moving direction is required, and the difficulty of capturing the moving object 104 can be adjusted.

  (4) In the first embodiment, a movement probability is set for each movement target position 106 in the storage unit 32, and the next movement target position 106 is selected based on the movement probability at the movement change timing. . Thereby, the movement pattern of the moving object 104 in the game field 102 can be made more diverse.

  (5) In the first embodiment, when the cancel operation of the controller 20 is detected before the preparation condition for the operation of the controller 20 in the second direction is satisfied during execution of the standby mode, the controller 20 The first operation effect based on the operation in the first direction is canceled. Thereby, the operation of the controller 20 can start and cancel the battle mode.

  (6) In the first embodiment, the position of the item 109 in the game field 102 is determined based on the movement status (speed, acceleration, direction) of the controller 20 in the operation in the first direction. Thereby, the position of the item 109 in the game field 102 can be determined through the operation of the controller 20.

  (7) In the first embodiment, when the effectiveness of the first operation of the controller 20 is determined based on the battle circle 111 and the position of the moving object 104 and the battle circle 111 reaches the center circle 112, The second operation of the controller 20 becomes effective. Thereby, in the game which operates with respect to the moving object 104, the variation of operation can be increased. In addition, the battle circle 111 is a display indicating the timing of performing the first operation and the second operation, and the size of the battle circle 111 changes depending on the game situation. There is no need to move the viewpoint to other areas. Therefore, it is possible to provide a user interface that can easily grasp the game situation. Further, the game can be developed according to the position of the battle circle 111 or the moving object 104.

  (8) In the first embodiment, the size of the battle circle 111 is changed based on the effectiveness of the first operation of the controller 20. Thereby, the first operation of the controller 20 and the difficulty level of capturing the moving object 104 using the battle circle 111 can be linked.

  (9) In the first embodiment, the amount of change of the battle circle 111 is determined for each area of the battle circle 111 according to the effectiveness of the first operation of the controller 20. Thereby, the difficulty of capturing the moving object 104 can be changed according to the operation position of the controller 20 in the battle circle 111.

  (10) In the first embodiment, the amount of change of the battle circle 111 is determined based on the type of the moving object 104 and the type of the item 103 associated with the first operation of the controller 20. Thereby, the change of the magnitude | size of the battle circle 111 can be adjusted with the classification of the moving object 104 or the item 103, and the capture difficulty of the moving object 104 can be controlled.

  (11) In the first embodiment, when the size of the battle circle 111 reaches the outer circle 113, the acceptance of the first operation of the controller 20 ends. Thereby, using the battle circle 111, the progress of the game up to the end timing of the first operation of the controller 20 can be grasped.

  (12) In the first embodiment, when the size of the battle circle 111 reaches the center circle 112, the second operation of the controller 20 is effective. Thereby, using the battle circle 111, it is possible to grasp the progress of the game up to the timing when the second operation of the controller 20 becomes effective.

  (13) In the first embodiment, the moving range 107 of the moving object 104 in the game field 102 is determined based on the type of the moving object 104. Thereby, the difficulty of capturing the moving object 104 using the battle circle 111 can be individually changed for each type of moving object.

  (14) In the first embodiment, when the intervention operation of the controller 20 is detected, the moving direction of the moving object 104 is changed based on the direction of the intervention operation of the controller 20. Thereby, the position of the moving object 104 can be adjusted through the operation of the controller 20.

  (15) In the first embodiment, whether or not the intervention operation of the controller 20 is established is determined based on the type of the moving object 104 and the type of the item 103 associated with the intervention operation of the controller 20. Thereby, according to the classification of the moving object 104 or the item 103, diversity can be given to intervention operation.

  (16) In the first embodiment, the moving direction of the moving object 104 after the change is determined based on the type of the moving object 104 and the type of the item 103 associated with the intervention operation of the controller 20. Thereby, according to the classification of the moving object 104 or the item 103, diversity can be given to intervention operation.

  (17) In the first embodiment, the moving object through the intervention operation of the controller 20 on the condition that a predetermined time has elapsed since the change of the moving direction of the moving object 104 through the intervention operation of the controller 20 has been executed. The change of the moving direction 104 is resumed. Thereby, after the intervention, the moving object 104 can be moved around again.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment that embodies a game processing program, a game processing method, and a game processing device will be described. In addition, since 2nd Embodiment is the structure which changed a part of process of the battle mode of 1st Embodiment, it attaches | subjects the same code | symbol about the same part, and abbreviate | omits the detailed description.

  The game of this embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment in that the success or failure of the capture operation of the moving object is determined according to the effectiveness of the first operation of the controller 20 during execution of the battle mode. In the present embodiment, the size of the battle circle does not change according to the effectiveness of the first operation of the controller 20, and the battle circle shrinks with the passage of time. That is, the battle circle does not repeat expansion and contraction according to the effectiveness of the first operation, but continues to contract over time. In this respect, the size of the battle circle is an index indicating the elapsed time of the game. In this case, if it is determined that the first operation of the controller 20 is valid in the battle circle, the count value temporarily stored in the memory is added. And when the magnitude | size of a battle circle becomes less than a threshold value, the success or failure of capture of a moving object is determined based on a count value.

  First, as shown in FIG. 15, in the main process in the battle mode, the control unit 31 of the game processing apparatus 30 displays a battle circle (step S131). Specifically, the game management unit 35 of the control unit 31 displays a battle circle (first region) within the movable range of the moving object set in the game field.

  Next, the control part 31 reduces a battle circle with progress of time (step S132). Specifically, the game management part 35 of the control part 31 reduces the diameter from the center of a battle circle according to time. In addition, since a battle circle is not limited to a circle, it may be reduced in a form included in a previous battle circle.

  Next, the control part 31 determines whether the magnitude | size of the battle circle became less than a threshold value (step S133). Specifically, the game management unit 35 of the control unit 31 compares the diameter of the battle circle with a threshold value (lower threshold value).

  And when it determines with the magnitude | size of a battle circle being more than a threshold value (in the case of "NO" in step S133), the control part 31 returns to step S131. Specifically, the control part 31 repeats the process of step S131-step S133 until the magnitude | size of a battle circle reaches a threshold value.

  On the other hand, when it determines with the magnitude | size of a battle circle being less than a threshold value (in the case of "YES" in step S133), the control part 31 determines whether 2nd operation of the controller 20 was performed within reference | standard time. (Step S134).

  Next, when the second operation is detected within the reference time (in the case of “YES” in step S134), the control unit 31 determines whether the count value that validates the first operation of the controller 20 is equal to or greater than the threshold value. It is determined whether or not (step S135). This count value is added through a battle mode interrupt process described later.

  Then, when it is determined that the count value that validates the first operation of the controller 20 is equal to or greater than the threshold value (in the case of “YES” in step S135), the control unit 31 produces a moving object capture success (step S136). ).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the count value that validates the first operation of the controller 20 is less than the threshold value (in the case of “NO” in step S135), the control unit 31 produces a capture failure of the moving object (step S137). ).

  Further, even when the second operation of the controller 20 is not detected within the reference time (in the case of “NO” in step S134), the control unit 31 produces a capture failure of the moving object (step S137). .

  Next, the battle mode interrupt process will be described with reference to FIG. This process is executed when the first operation of the controller 20 is detected (step S131A) during the execution of the processes in steps S131 to S133 in the main process in the battle mode.

  Here, the control unit 31 determines whether or not the moving object is located inside the battle circle when the first operation is detected (step S132A).

  When it is determined that the moving object is located inside the battle circle (in the case of “YES” in step S132A), the control unit 31 determines that the first operation of the controller 20 is valid.

  In this case, the controller 31 counts the first operation of the controller 20 as valid (step S133A). Specifically, the game management unit 35 of the control unit 31 adds the count value temporarily stored in the memory, and ends the battle mode interrupt process.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the moving object is located outside the battle circle (in the case of “NO” in step S132A), the control unit 31 interrupts the battle mode without counting the first operation of the controller 20 as valid. End the process.

As described above, according to the second embodiment, the effects listed below can be obtained in addition to the effects described in the first embodiment.
(18) In the second embodiment, the size of the battle circle does not change according to the effectiveness of the first operation of the controller 20. Accordingly, the elapsed time can be visually grasped based on the size of the battle circle, and the capture operation of the moving object can be performed using the battle circle 111.

(Third embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment that embodies a game processing program, a game processing method, and a game processing device will be described. Since the third embodiment has a configuration in which a part of the moving object setting interrupt process of the first embodiment is changed, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  This embodiment is the same as the first embodiment in that the moving direction of the moving object is changed when an intervention operation of the controller 20 is performed. In the present embodiment, the method for changing the moving direction of the moving object is switched based on the relative positional relationship between the direction of the intervention operation of the controller 20 and the moving range of the moving object.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 17, when the control unit 31 of the game processing device 30 detects an intervention operation of the controller 20 during the execution of the main process of moving object setting (step S151A), the control unit 31 sets the moving object. Perform interrupt processing.

  In the moving object setting interrupt process, the control unit 31 changes the moving direction of the moving object based on the direction of the intervention operation of the controller 20.

  First, the control unit 31 specifies an intervention condition (step S152A).

  Next, the control unit 31 determines whether or not the intervention operation of the controller 20 is established based on the identified intervention condition (step S153A).

  When it is determined that the intervention operation of the controller 20 is established (“YES” in step S153A), the control unit 31 determines the relative positional relationship between the direction of the intervention operation of the controller 20 and the moving range of the moving object. (Step S154A).

  When it is determined that the direction of the intervention operation of the controller 20 is inward of the moving range of the moving object (“YES” in step S154A), the control unit 31 changes the moving direction of the moving object by the first method. (Step S155A), and the moving object setting interrupt process ends. The first method will be described later with reference to FIGS. 18 (a) and 18 (b).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the direction of the intervention operation of the controller 20 is the outward direction of the moving range of the moving object (in the case of “NO” in step S154A), the control unit 31 changes the moving direction of the moving object by the second method. (Step S156A), and the moving object setting interrupt process is terminated. The second method will be described later with reference to FIGS. 18 (c) and 18 (d).

An image displayed on the display 14 of the HMD 10 during execution of moving object setting will be described with reference to FIGS.
18A and 18B, the control unit 31 of the game processing device 30 detects the intervention operation of the controller 20 while the moving object 104 is moving toward the outside of the moving range 107. Assume the case. In this case, the control unit 31 changes the moving direction of the moving object by the first method. In the first method, the control unit 31 randomly draws the next movement target position 116 from among a plurality of movement target positions 116 set in the central area 115 of the movement range 107 of the moving object 104.

  In this case, the control unit 31 changes the size of the central area 115 where the movement target position 116 is set based on the type of the moving object 104 and the type of the item 103 (fishing rod) associated with the intervention operation of the controller 20. To do.

  For example, the central area 115 is set large for the moving object 104 with a high degree of rareness. Thereby, the difficulty of capturing the moving object 104 can be increased.

  18C and 18D, it is assumed that the control unit 31 detects an intervention operation of the controller 20 while the moving object 104 is moving toward the inside of the moving range 107. doing. In this case, the control unit 31 changes the moving direction of the moving object by the second method. In the second method, the control unit 31 sets a position where the direction of the intervention operation of the controller 20 and the outer edge of the moving range 107 of the moving object 104 intersect as the next moving target position 117. That is, the control unit 31 matches the direction of the intervention operation of the controller 20 with the moving direction of the moving object 104 after the change.

As described above, according to the third embodiment, the effects listed below can be obtained in addition to the effects described in the first embodiment.
(19) In the third embodiment, the moving direction of the moving object 104 after the change is determined based on the relative positional relationship between the direction of the intervention operation of the controller 20 and the moving range 107 of the moving object 104. Thereby, the change of the moving direction of the moving object 104 through the intervention operation of the controller 20 can be made rich in variations.

In addition, each said embodiment can also be suitably changed and implemented as follows.
In each of the above embodiments, the initial position of the avatar 108 is set in advance to a plurality of positions in the game field 102. The method for setting the initial position of the avatar 108 is not limited to the prior setting. For example, when the game field 102 is selected by the player, the control unit 31 specifies the moving range 107 of the moving object 104 in the game field 102 and arranges an arbitrary position in the vicinity as the initial position of the avatar 108. Good.

  In each of the above embodiments, the type of the moving object 104 is associated with the game field 102 in advance. The method for selecting the type of the moving object 104 is not limited to presetting. For example, when the game field 102 is selected by the player, the control unit 31 sets an initial position of the avatar 108 in the game field 102 and moves the game field 102 based on the set position of the avatar 108. 104 types may be selected.

  In each of the above embodiments, the movement change timing of the moving object 104 is set at a predetermined time interval. The method for determining the movement change timing is not limited to a predetermined time interval. For example, the control unit 31 may set the timing at which the moving object 104 reaches a predetermined movement target position 106 as the movement change timing of the moving object 104.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the movement probability is set in advance for each movement target position 106 of the moving object 104, and the next movement target position 106 of the moving object 104 is drawn by lot based on the movement probability. The lottery method for the movement target position 106 is not limited to the method based on the movement probability. For example, the control unit 31 may randomly draw the next movement target position 106 from among a plurality of movement target positions 106 corresponding to the moving object 104.

  In each of the above embodiments, the arrangement, number, and movement probability of the movement target position 106 are set in advance in association with the game field 102 for each type of the moving object 104. The setting method of the arrangement, the number, and the movement probability of the movement target position 106 corresponding to the type of the moving object 104 is not limited to the presetting. For example, the control unit 31 may change the arrangement, the number, and the movement probability of the movement target position 106 of the moving object 104 according to the progress of the game.

  In each of the above embodiments, the position of the item 109 in the game field 102 is determined based on the speed or acceleration of the operation of the controller 20 in the first direction. Instead of this, the position of the item 109 in the game field 102 may be determined based on the operation time of the operation of the controller 20 in the first direction. For example, the control unit 31 detects the direction and acceleration of the swing-down operation of the controller 20, and calculates the required time from the operation start to the operation end as the operation time of the operation in the first direction of the controller 20. Then, the position of the item 109 in the game field 102 is determined based on the calculated operation time. In this case, the control unit 31 determines the position of the item 109 at a position farther from the viewpoint of the player as the operation time of the controller 20 in the first direction is longer.

  In each of the above embodiments, when an operation in the first direction of the controller 20 is detected, the position on the extension line in the first direction of the controller 20 as viewed from the player's viewpoint is determined as the position of the item 109. . Instead of this, the position on the extension line in the direction of the gaze position of the player may be determined as the position of the item 109 regardless of the operation direction of the controller 20. In this case, the control unit 31 specifies the gaze direction of the player in the HMD 10 and arranges the item 109 at the coordinate of the gaze direction in the virtual space. Further, the position of the item 109 in the game field 102 may be determined in consideration of both the direction of operation of the controller 20 and the direction of the gaze position of the player.

  In each of the above embodiments, the operation (cast) in the first direction is an operation for swinging down the controller 20, and the operation (cancellation) in the second direction is an operation for swinging up the controller 20. Instead of this, the operation in the first direction may be an operation of swinging up and down the controller 20, and the operation in the second direction may be an operation of swinging up the controller 20. Alternatively, the operation in the second direction may be an operation of shaking or turning the controller 20. These operations can be changed according to the configuration of the controller 20. For example, when the controller 20 has a touch panel, the first operation may be a swipe operation or a flick operation of the touch panel, and the second operation may be an operation of swinging up the controller 20.

  In each of the above embodiments, the first operation is the tap operation of the determination button, and the second operation is the operation of swinging up the controller 20. Instead of this, the first operation and the second operation may be operations that swing up the controller 20, and the operation amount of the second operation may be larger than the operation amount of the first operation. Alternatively, the first operation and the second operation are operations for raising the controller 20, and the lower limit value of the operation speed for executing the second operation is set as the operation speed for executing the first operation. It may be made larger than the lower limit value. Further, the first operation and the second operation can be changed according to the configuration of the controller 20. For example, when the controller 20 has a touch panel, the first operation may be a swipe operation or a flick operation of the touch panel, and the second operation may be an operation of swinging up the controller 20.

  In each of the above embodiments, during execution of the battle mode, the battle circle 111 indicating the effectiveness of the first operation of the controller 20 is used as an indicator of the progress of the game until the second operation of the controller 20 becomes effective. Also displayed. In this case, separately from the display of the battle circle 111, an indicator of the progress of the game until the second operation of the controller 20 becomes valid may be displayed. For example, the control unit 31 changes the initial value of the physical strength gauge of the moving object 104 temporarily stored in the memory based on the operation state of the controller 20. Then, the physical strength gauge of the moving object 104 is added to the battle circle 111 and displayed in the upper area of the game field 102.

  In the second embodiment, the count value of the first operation of the controller 20 is calculated without considering the number of times that the first operation of the controller 20 is invalidated. Instead, the count value of the first operation of the controller 20 may be calculated in consideration of the number of times that the first operation of the controller 20 is invalidated. For example, the control unit 31 obtains a value obtained by subtracting the number of times that the first operation of the controller 20 is invalidated from the number of times that the first operation of the controller 20 is valid from the count value of the first operation of the controller 20. Calculate as

  In the second embodiment, the number of times that the first operation of the controller 20 is validated is calculated as the count value of the first operation of the controller 20. That is, the count value of the first operation of the controller 20 is uniformly calculated regardless of the area of the battle circle 111 when the first operation of the controller 20 is validated. Instead, for each area of the battle circle 111, the addition amount of the count value when the first operation of the controller 20 is validated may be set individually.

  Further, for each type of the moving object 104 and the type of the item 103 (fishing rod) associated with the first operation of the controller 20, when the first operation of the controller 20 is validated, the count value addition amount is individually set. You may decide to.

  For example, for a moving object 104 with a high degree of rareness, the count value addition amount when the first operation of the controller 20 is validated may be set small. Specifically, a table or a function (addition amount determination information) for determining the addition amount of the count value for each type of the moving object 104 is held in the memory. In this addition amount determination information, an addition amount corresponding to the difficulty of capture is set. Then, the control unit 31 determines the addition amount based on the moving object 104 to be captured. Thereby, for example, by setting the addition amount to be smaller as the rare degree is higher, the difficulty level of capturing the moving object 104 can be adjusted.

  In the first and third embodiments, the reduction amount of the battle circle 111 when the first operation of the controller 20 becomes valid is determined for each area of the battle circle 111. The method of determining the reduction amount of the battle circle 111 is not limited to the method of determining for each area. For example, the control unit 31 may uniformly set the reduction amount of the battle circle 111 when the first operation of the controller 20 becomes effective without dividing the battle circle 111 into a plurality of areas.

  -In the said 1st and 3rd embodiment, when the 1st operation of the controller 20 became invalid, the battle circle 111 was expanded. The changing method of the battle circle 111 is not limited to the method of enlarging according to the effectiveness of the first operation. For example, even if the first operation of the controller 20 becomes invalid, the control unit 31 may skip the process of expanding the battle circle 111.

  In the first and third embodiments, the effectiveness of the first operation of the controller 20 is determined based on the type of the moving object 104 and the type of the item 103 (fishing rod) associated with the first operation of the controller 20. The change amount of the corresponding battle circle 111 was determined. The method for determining the change amount of the battle circle 111 is not limited to the method based on the type of the moving object 104 or the type of the item 103. For example, the control unit 31 may uniformly set the change amount of the battle circle 111 according to the effectiveness of the first operation of the controller 20.

  In each of the above embodiments, the size of the battle circle 111 is changed as time passes. The method for changing the battle circle 111 is not limited to a method based on the passage of time. For example, the control unit 31 may determine the size of the battle circle 111 based only on the effectiveness of the first operation of the controller 20 regardless of the passage of time.

  In the first and third embodiments, when the size of the battle circle 111 reaches the outer circle 113, the battle mode is terminated. Here, the end condition of the battle mode is not limited to this. For example, the control unit 31 may determine that the elapsed time of the battle mode has reached a predetermined time or that the number of times that the first operation of the controller 20 has become a predetermined value has reached a predetermined value as an end condition. Good.

  In each of the above embodiments, whether or not the first operation of the controller 20 has started is determined based on the compatibility between the type of the moving object 104 and the type of the item 109 associated with the first operation of the controller 20. The condition for determining whether or not the first operation of the controller 20 is started is not limited to this. For example, the control unit 31 may use the compatibility between the game field 102 and the type of the item 109 (luer) associated with the first operation of the controller 20 as the determination condition. In this case, for example, the type of the item 109 that can be used in the game field 102 is recorded in the item information 40.

  In each of the above embodiments, the second operation of the controller 20 is determined to be valid on the condition that the reference time has not elapsed after the size of the battle circle 111 reaches the center circle 112. The condition for determining that the second operation of the controller 20 is valid is not limited to this. For example, the control unit 31 can be used on condition that the moving object 104 has not moved to the outside of the battle circle 111. When the size of the battle circle 111 reaches the center circle 112, the control unit 31 determines that the second operation of the controller 20 is valid until the second operation of the controller 20 is detected. Also good.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, when the intervention operation of the controller 20 is detected, the moving direction of the moving object 104 can be changed outside the moving range 107 of the moving object 104 set based on the moving range setting information. . Instead, the control unit 31 may limit the moving direction of the moving object 104 by the intervention operation of the controller 20 within the range of the moving range 107.

  In each of the above embodiments, the moving direction of the moving object 104 after the change is determined based on the direction of the intervention operation of the controller 20. Here, in addition to the direction of the intervention operation of the controller 20, the moving direction of the moving object 104 after the change may be determined in consideration of the moving direction of the moving object 104 before the change. For example, the control unit 31 generates a vector component in the direction of the intervention operation of the controller 20 and a vector component in the movement direction of the moving object 104 before the change, and the moving direction of the moving object 104 after changing the direction of the combined vector. Determine as.

  In the third embodiment, when the direction of the intervention operation of the controller 20 is inward of the moving range 107 of the moving object 104, the moving object 104 is selected from among the plurality of moving target positions 116 set in the central area 115. The next movement target position 116 was randomly drawn. The method for determining the movement target position 116 is not limited to this. For example, the movement probability of the moving object 104 is set in advance for each movement target position 116 set in the central area 115. And the control part 31 draws the next movement target position 116 of the moving object 104 based on this movement probability.

  Further, the control unit 31 determines the next movement target position 116 of the moving object 104 based on the relative positional relationship between the direction of the intervention operation of the controller 20 and the plurality of movement target positions 116 set in the center area 115. May be drawn. For example, the control unit 31 sets an extension line in the direction of the intervention operation of the controller 20 as viewed from the position of the moving object 104. Then, the control unit 31 determines the movement target position 116 closest to the extension line as the next movement target position 116 of the moving object 104.

  Further, the control unit 31 may determine a predetermined position in the central area 115 such as the center point of the moving range 107 of the moving object 104 as the next moving target position of the moving object 104 at the time of the intervention operation of the controller 20. .

  In each of the above embodiments, the success or failure of the intervention operation of the controller 20 is determined based on the type of the moving object 104 or the type of the item 103 (fishing rod) associated with the intervention operation of the controller 20. The condition for determining success or failure of the intervention operation of the controller 20 is not limited to this. For example, the control unit 31 matches the game field 102 and the item 103 (fishing rod) associated with the intervention operation of the controller 20 or the item 103 (fishing rod) associated with the moving object 104 and the intervention operation of the controller 20. Compatibility can also be used as a condition. Further, the control unit 31 may establish the intervention operation of the controller 20 without providing a precondition when detecting the intervention operation of the controller 20, or may randomly determine whether the intervention operation of the controller 20 is successful. Good.

  In each of the above embodiments, the moving direction of the moving object 104 after the change is determined based on the type of the moving object 104 and the type of the item 103 associated with the intervention operation of the controller 20. The condition for determining the moving direction of the moving object 104 after the change is not limited to this. For example, the control unit 31 matches the game field 102 and the item 103 (fishing rod) associated with the intervention operation of the controller 20 or the item 103 (fishing rod) associated with the moving object 104 and the intervention operation of the controller 20. Compatibility can also be used as a condition. Further, when the control unit 31 detects the intervention operation of the controller 20, the control unit 31 may uniformly determine the moving direction of the moving object 104 after the change based on the direction of the intervention operation of the controller 20.

  In each of the above embodiments, when changing the moving direction of the moving object 104 through the intervention operation of the controller 20, the interval is set for the timing of changing the moving direction of the moving object 104. Instead of this, the control unit 31 may not set the interval at the timing of changing the moving direction of the moving object 104 through the intervention operation of the controller 20. In this case, even when the control unit 31 changes the moving direction of the moving object 104 through the intervention operation of the controller 20, the control unit 31 continues to accept the intervention operation of the controller 20.

  Further, the length of the interval may be variably set based on the type of the moving object 104 or the type of the item 103 (fishing rod) associated with the intervention operation of the controller 20. In this case, the control unit 31 holds information for setting the interval according to the type of the moving object 104 and the type of the item 103.

  For example, for a moving object 104 with a high degree of rarity, the interval may be set longer. Thereby, the difficulty of capturing the moving object 104 can be increased.

  In each of the above embodiments, the case where a game played by two players is described has been described, but a game played by three or more players may be provided. In this case, the same number of HMDs 10 as the number of players are connected to the game processing device 30.

  In each of the above embodiments, the game processing device 30 specifies the position and orientation of the player's head. Instead of this, the HMD control unit 11 may calculate the position and orientation of the head based on the detection signal of the sensor 12. Or HMD10 is apparatuses, such as a smart phone provided with a touch panel and a communication part, and may have the control part 31. FIG. In this case, the control unit 31 of a device such as a smartphone sequentially acquires information from a server that records the game field information 37 and the like via a network, and causes the game to be executed. When a game is played by a plurality of people, the HMDs 10 may communicate with each other or communicate with each other via a server. As described above, the HMD 10 can be provided with at least a part of the functions of the game processing device 30 described in the above embodiments.

  In each of the above embodiments, the HMD 10 identifies the position and orientation of the player's head, but may identify a position and orientation other than the head, such as the position of the player's iris.

  In each of the above embodiments, the game provided to the player is embodied as a virtual reality game in which a stereoscopic image is displayed on the display 14. Instead of this, the game may be a game that displays a two-dimensional image on a display. In this case, it can be set as an installation type display instead of HMD10. Then, the player operates the controller 20 while confirming the display on the display to perform operations such as casting.

  In each of the above embodiments, the plurality of players see the moving object in the virtual space from the viewpoint of the avatar 108 corresponding to each player, but each player may be able to switch the viewpoint. For example, each player may be able to see the moving object in the virtual space not only from the avatar's viewpoint, but also from a viewpoint as seen from behind the avatar. Specifically, the control unit 31 places a viewpoint on the side farther from the game field with respect to the avatar in the virtual space, and outputs an image from this viewpoint to the HMD 10. In this case, for example, each player may select the viewpoint before the game starts, or the viewpoint may be changed during the game.
